District 7 Councilperson Ana Sandoval speaks as City Council meets to discuss and vote on the city's new annual budget, totaling $3.4 billion, on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022. The main highlights included city property tax relief; large wage increases for city employees to stem the tide of people leaving and fill vacancies; police resources; and what to do with an extra $50 to $75 million in revenue the city takes from CPS Energy.As Councilwoman Ana Sandoval prepares to leave office Jan.
Sandoval said in her resignation letter that she hopes the City Council selects someone who knows the district well, can lead numerous traffic safety and infrastructure projects to fruition and will work well with district staff. She also said she would like the council to select someone who will not run for office in May.
In a message to constituents, Sandoval’s team said that council will accept her resignation Thursday and then begin the search for a temporary council person. The email says that council will have to interview applicants in a public meeting before selecting a temporary member and people interested in serving should check the city website in the coming weeks for instructions on how to apply.
City Clerk Debbie Racca-Sittre said a timeline has yet to be set and she is waiting to have a conversation with Mayor Ron Nirenberg about the situation. Nirenberg is currently in Washington, D.C., for the U.S. Conference of Mayors winter meeting. He has not spoken publicly about if he would prefer to leave the seat vacant or fill it.
